-Secondly, all organic Material goes into it - toilet paper, paper towels, grease and fat, leaves and sawdust - these aid the decomposition process by lightening the composting pile to allow air penetration, and by supplying carbon for organisms in the compost to convert nitrogen and other nutrients to stable forms, and to develop heat to evaporate liquid waste.
